Case Thompson · Answer 1

The correct answer to the following question will be "False".

Explanation:

A common law doctrine that if an individual became hospitalized or injured in part because of their fault (her/his "contributed" negligence to the incident), that party would not be able to receive any insurance (funds) from some other party that had been causing the incident. Contributive responsibility or negligence shall apply in which case the defendant shall not be eligible for any compensation.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
